    Audio skips/full of deletions & advert volume is uncomfortably loud
    The audio skips so much I had to stop listening to this podcast and find a different version on YouTube. I couldn’t stand it. It was exactly like one of those bad cell connections where every action or critical word is missing. Here’s an example:, “So, you last testified to [blank]?”, “I was at the scene and [blank]”. “‘Who else was there?’ ‘Uhhh, it was Ms. McCabe and [blank].’” Grrrrr!!!! I normally listen to podcasts at 1.5x speed so I initially assumed that was the problem. But even when I slowed this one down to 1x, normal, speed the skips remained. The painfully loud advertisements were uncomfortable and unwelcome, but the audio skips were something I just couldn’t tolerate and forced me to use an app I find annoying (because it lacks features I need when using my AirPods and trying to multitask hands-free. If you fix it, I’ll come back and change my rating & update my review. I hope that happens.

    Ads are too loud
    Please turn down the volume on ads. It’s a real problem. Other than that, thank you for providing this podcast.

    Excellent
    The only thing I would change is the volume level so ads and content are the same level.

    TYPICAL CW ANTICS
    ONLY the CW is such a farce of injustice that even the recordings of course are not accessible…they literally believe the rules don’t apply to them and lack the decency or decorum to taxpayers to do ANYthing, even this, responsibly and professionally. Shame on the CW.
  • Boomer Listener
    Convenient
    It’s handy to be able to listen to trial audio except when sound quality is poor like this last episode. Keep them coming but put the ads at the beginning or end. They are jarringly loud!
  • Nesfhkilesabmcxwagl
    Too many ads
    The witness did not finish his answer then 5 ads thenthe witness answers the question and 5 more ads. If you want to hear the trail not ads do not listen to this podcast it’s a waste of time.

    Great full coverage
    I’m not sure what people are complaining about. The adds are few and far between.

    Great full coverage
    It’s full coverage of the trial so I appreciate that. No additional commentary or edits. Just presented as is. Sure they could lose the commercials but I’m listening on a free platform

    Had to stop listening
    After opening statements, commercial played every 5 minutes. What a scam.

    Incessant Irritating Commercials
    Nonstop. Constantly interrupting testimonies mid sentence. Absolutely unbearable listen.
